Mirissa

Yesterday, we had a nice little travel day from Unawatuna to Mirissa - another beach town on the south coast of Sri Lanka. We took a local bus which was an adventure in itself as the bus was full when we got on, and the conductor continued to squeeze more and more people until there were people literally hanging out the door! This, combined with the bus drivers crazy driving, made for an interesting ride. Thankfully, the trip was quite short, with us arriving in Mirissa an hour later. We quickly walked from the main road down to our hotel near the beach as the sky turned dark and rain started to fall. The rain didn't let up all day, soaking us as we went out to run some errands.
